Original Toronto Star caption: Hong Kong Harbor; with its fancy ferries and tour boats and its exotic; though not so fancy; junks; is a big draw for tourists; whose numbers increased last year by 20 per cent over 1975 to a total of 1.6 million. Other big factors are its location; which makes it an ideal jumping off spot for other destinations; and its shopping bargains.
